The OXTS GPS Inertrial units suhc a the RT3000, paried with a Riegl’s Q120 scanner are perfect for cost effective mobile mapping applications. Mobile mapping, where a 2D LIDAR is fitted to a vehicle, is a very efficient method of surveying.

In this setup, the Q120 was fitted to a truck with theRT3002. As the truck is driven the laser scans the view out of the side of the truck. By driving up and down each street the left and right sides of the street can be captured. The RT3002 is used to directly geo-reference each individual laser point. The resulting image cloud accurately represents the real-world. Data from LIDAR can be imported in to CAD packages, combined with visual imagery or viewed directly in software packages like RiSCAN.
